the story of Emily Butterfly
Ms. Butterfly was blessed to grow up frolicking with wild bunnies, turtles pollywogs, frogs and butterflies. Her first friendships were with faeries and she is delighted to have been raised by a father who was a party supply salesman, which most definitely informed her work as a children’s edutainer.
Emily has been writing stories and drawing accompanying characters since she could wield a pencil.

“Emily Butterfly came to Peter Pan and it was magical! We were enchanted the minute we sat down.
Emily accommodated our setting, school style and our mixed age group. She let us sit so so close. She was so kind and appropriate helping us be a great audience and she also was able to address the children’s interruptions, curiosity and enthusiasm.
Emily’s puppets are hand made and came to life. We loved her ‘arm story’ too. Emily is a professional puppeteer and artist but it seemed like she was sent to us! Everyone young and old loved her time with us. My busy kids watched the whole time. We will be planning another visit soon. Emily was a fairy special visitor.”
“Your show was amazing, and a huge hit with the children! I wanted to thank you for entertaining the kids so wonderfully, the kids were amazed and hugely entertained!
Your imagination and creativity is out of this world, and we are all grateful for the amazing show you put on! Thank you for making Dora’s birthday such a wonderful, memorable event! The kids will be talking about the show for months to come!
(And I won’t be surprised to hear that you will be wanted at each one of those kids parties! )
Thank you again!”
